The 2011–12 Spanish football season was Real Valladolid's second season in the second level in Spanish football after being defeated 3–2 on aggregate against Elche in La Liga promotion play-off in June 2011. This season will be the 31st of Real Valladolid in the second level in Spanish football. The general coordinator during last season, Chuti Molina, left his work on 14 June, becoming Real Murcia general director. On 17 June, Real Valladolid made official Abel Resino's detachment as he did not renew his contract as team manager. On 4 July, Carlos Suárez announced he had bought 59% of the club shareholding, becoming shareholder of Real Valladolid, and therefore the owner of the entity. At the same time he confirmed that he will not step down as chairman and, from the next day, news about the sporting aspect will be known. Earlier on 6 July, the club became official the incorporation of the Serbian manager Miroslav Đukić for the next 3 seasons. During that day, it also was confirmed that José Antonio García Calvo, general director, left his work.
Real Valladolid qualified in 3rd position in Segunda División, behind both Deportivo and Celta de Vigo, with 82 points. It was the first time in the history that any team with 80+ points wasn't directly promoted to La Liga. Deportivo de La Coruña beat Real Valladolid's points record, getting 91 points in the whole season. The record was established by José Luis Mendilibar's team in 2007 when Real Valladolid scored 88 points and were champions.
The team had to play the Promotion play-off again, and got the promotion to 2012–13 La Liga by winning 3–0 on aggregate to Córdoba in the Semifinal and by 2–1 to AD Alcorcón in the Final.

• Manucho Contreiras did not come back to Valladolid after Christmas holiday so as to prepare the 2012 African Cup of Nations with Angola. He did not communicate to the club, and he was penalized.
